Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the USB to serial functionality, compatibility with various operating systems and devices, and the ease of use of this adapter cable. Many appreciate its quality and durable construction. However, some customers point out that the cable length is short, and that the lack of included drivers may pose a challenge for some users. Overall, the positive feedback on functionality and ease of use outweighs the concerns about cable length and driver support.

    Nice for when you have a modern laptop that no longer has a 9-pin RS-232 port. Some of us still need the old comm ports for work use.

    PDA/Serial Adapter CABLE

    This item is called a PDA/Serial Adapter Cable BUT it only has a 1 foot long cable which is NOT long enough to be useful. This means that if you buy this $20 item, you'll need to buy the 6 foot cable extension for another $25 to make it complete and useful.

    Dumb part - But when you need it you need it. BB having it in stock is what I needed, so 15 minutes later we were able to move forward with our project.

    Serial/USB cable seems to works just fine in place of serial connector where pins have broken off in connector.

    The issue with laptops or pc's is the fact they got rid of the serial port, but for work in networking equipment, it is a must have!
